Alien Cover Up Rumors Swirl As Family Is Held At Gunpoint For Entering Area 51 UFO Crash Site

#1 About Area 51

For many decades, people from around the world have believed that the US government is hiding aliens and UFO's at Area 51 in the Nevada desert. There have been docudramas about alien autopsy's and spacecraft that is being hidden from the general public. The area is a military zone that doesn't exist on maps and is classified as 'Top Secret.' Though the location is widely known by alien conspiracists, the town surrounding the military zone is now a tourist trap visited by hundreds of thousands of people each year, and is full of everything anyone could ever wish to see and hear about aliens.

#2 Heavily Guarded Zone

The base is located on a space that was once known as Groom Lake and covers ten square miles. Recently the Federal government has seized an additional 85,000 acres surrounding the base to keep observers at a distance. The perimeter of the base is covered with ground sensors and listening devices to detect even the smallest intrusion. It is also heavily patrolled by armed guards from the Wackenhut Corporation, a very serious private security firm. These guys aren't your normal rent-a-cops that local concert promoters use. In short, they will kill you.

#3 Father & Son Take A Trip Near The Base And Film It

Last July, Jeremiah Hasvold and his son took a trip to the area in hopes to simply take a trip on Extraterrestrial Highway, a stretch of road near Area 51, after hearing rumours alien spacecraft were being tested there. At the time, there were worldwide rumors that an airline passenger claimed to have captured images of a UFO giving off 'bright lights and orbs' near the military base.

The witness claimed the plane was flying near Luning and Gabbs on October 30 when he noticed 'blinding bright light' in the desert below before it disappeared near area 51.

#4 They Witnessed The Family In Front Of Them Pass Through The Gated Area

Mr. Hasvold began filming his trip when he and his son approached the gate to Area 51, tailing a group of foreign tourists they had met during their trip. But while the Hasvolds stop short of the warning sign deterring curious tourists from entering the restricted area, the family in front speed on through. The gates and signs are over 20 miles from the actual military installation.

#5 The Family Was Swooped On By Armed Guards

Stopped immediately at gunpoint, the family is forced to exit their automobile and walk backwards to the guards. The dramatic footage of a frightened family held at gunpoint for entering Area 51 has fuelled fresh rumours that the US government could be hiding alien life behind those gates. Dramatic scenes unfold as the two guards descend on the truck ordering the family-of-four to exit the vehicle with their hands on their heads, though they were taken away, it is not clear if they were arrested or what the outcome of the ordeal revealed.

#6 Whatever Is Behind The Gates, It's Clear That The Government Doesn't Want It Revealed

The US government finally admitted the military base had been used for top secret aircraft development when they publicly released declassified documents that Area 51 does indeed exist in 2013. However, questions still remain as to whether the US could be harbouring UFOs or actual aliens that had crashed over the years.
